SURFACE PREPARATION:
Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry. Allow new
plaster to cure for 30 days before priming. Make sure that
there are no active water problems and that any previous
water damage is fully dry. Use a product such as
BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ULTRA Stain-Blocking Ceiling Paint
as a primer for repaired or uncoated surfaces. Lock in
stains with a product such as BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ULTRA
Stain-Blocking Ceiling Paint as a spot primer. For heavy
stains, test for stain bleed-through by applying a product
such as BEHR PREMIUM PLUS ULTRA Stain-Blocking
Ceiling Paint as a topcoat to a small section. If the stain
bleeds through the topcoat, spot prime another coat to
the stained area and test again before top-coating the
entire ceiling. If bleeding continues, a longer dry time is
needed before topcoating. For drastic color changes,
apply a primer coat of a product such as BEHR PREMIUM
PLUS ULTRA Stain-Blocking Ceiling Paint if needed.
New Drywall: All drywall surfaces should be suciently
sanded smooth. Remove any remaining drywall dust prior
to priming. Allow all drywall compounds to be completely
dry prior to coating. Previously Painted Drywall: Remove
all loose and peeling paint and all other foreign substances.
Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing the surface with
a detergent and water solution, followed by a thorough
rinsing with clean water. Set nails and ll holes, scratches,
and gouges with the appropriate spackling material.
Let dry completely and sand smooth. Remove all dust with
a wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized,
paintable caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to
coating. Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion,
sand the surface thoroughly before coating.
Wood: WARNING! Sanding or scraping pressure treated
lumber may be hazardous; wear appropriate protection.
New Plaster: New plaster should be thoroughly dried out and
cured for a minimum of 30 days before painting. When cured,
clean using a mixed solution of one part vinegar and one part
water to remove eorescence and neutralize. Previously
Painted Plaster: Remove all loose and peeling paint and all
other foreign substances. Clean any dirt and grease by scrubbing
the surface with a detergent and water solution, followed by
a thorough rinsing with clean water. Set nails and ll holes,
scratches, and gouges with the appropriate spackling material.
Let dry completely and sand smooth. Remove all dust with a
tack or wiping cloth. Fill all gaps with a 100% acrylic, siliconized,
paintable caulking, and allow to completely dry prior to coating.
Glossy Surfaces: For maximum adhesion, sand the surface
thoroughly before coating.
Stain-blocking: After priming, test for stain bleed-through
by applying the topcoat to a small section. If the stain bleeds
through the topcoat, apply a second coat of primer and
test again before top-coating the entire area. If bleeding
continues, a longer dry time of the primer may be needed
before top-coating.

you may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact the
